A miracle! A man has tread upon water!

water walk


Well we could make the obvious Jesus-complex jokes, but we'll try to be above all that. It's hard though. After all Yoav Rosen didbuild these nifty pontoon things that let people walk on water. But no, we shall resist temptation. After all, even Leonardo da Vinci gave it a go. But we digress.Thesepontoons are made of styrofoam and have little buoyant flaps that rotate "from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock" and act as paddles to move the walker forward. See, previous water-walking attempts had the paddles moving from 6 to 9 and of course resulted in the fools all drowning (not really). We're still confused since the article never says 9 o'clock in relation to what. External points of reference are quite useful, some might even say necessary, if you want people to have any idea what you're talking about. Anyway, the pontoons are tethered to each other so the walker's legs don't spread apart and make him look like an idiot. Can't have that happening can we?
